Re: [Expectperl-discuss] IO::Tty - perlgcc Makefile.PL hangs

[Roland G. <rgi...@cp...>]

 From past experience I know that the solaris perl packages always 
create troubles.

I would recommend to build perl by yourself, using gcc and the latest 
v5.8 source as the earlier 5.8 versions have problems regarding 64bit.

I'm pretty sure that IO::Tty then just works... ;-)
